We are back from our journey! We had a nice time with our friends Greta and Dave at their home in Batavia, IL on Thursday and Friday. Our little A played with/argued/ignored their little A, who turned two on Friday. We enjoyed the lovely weather at a splash park on Friday, and on the patio at California Pizza Kitchen (which reminded me of the new development in Maple Grove), with a glass of Riesling on Friday night. On Saturday, we drove Mike up to Bristol, WI for the annual Progress Days fastpitch tournament. A, B, and I stayed with Greta and Dave on Saturday night, and headed back to Bristol on Sunday morning to catch the parade, and softball tournament action. A also enjoyed some nice swinging in the shade at the adjoining park, during Mike's game. Kipper and Maisy DVDs saved the day during the long drives in the Pilot on Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. It was nice to be back in Illinois, since it brought back some nice memories of our early newlywed days, but I couldn't imagine raising our babes so far away from family and friends. The other nice thing about Illinois is Giordano's Pizza, which we brought home with us! We stopped in Gurnee on our way home from Wisconsin on Sunday, and picked up two frozen stuffed crust pizzas. Danielle, Mark, Hope and Chad will probably recall the delicious breakfasts of Giordano's we enjoyed when they visited Wadsworth for New Year's Eve 2000! The Chicago-style stuffed crust pizzas have this wonderful cheese like I have experienced no where else! Yum!
